‘Hoppers’ Crosses Another Box Office Milestone
After another successful weekend in theaters, Pixar’s Hoppers has now crossed the $300 million box office threshold and still has room to run.
Released on March 6, Hoppers tells the story of Mabel, a young girl who transfers her mind into a robotic beaver, giving her the ability to communicate with the animal kingdom.

“What if you could talk to animals and understand what they’re saying? In Disney and Pixar’s all-new feature film Hoppers, scientists have discovered how to ‘hop’ human consciousness into lifelike robotic animals, allowing people to communicate with animals as animals,” the film’s synopsis reads.

This milestone is particularly notable given the film’s $150 million production budget.
